Two Cases of Adult Pancreatoblastoma: An Infrequent Differential Diagnosis

Frank Young Tabusso, Ramiro Manuel Fernández Placencia, Eloy Ruiz Figueroa

Pancreatoblastomas are extremely infrequent nonductal pancreatic tumors in adults; their behavior is usually more aggressive than in children. Surgical resection is the primary treatment, and other approaches are not universally accepted. Here, we present two cases operated at our institution. One case with a large tumor located at the body and tail of the pancreas; the other patient had the tumor located at the head of the pancreas, both were treated surgically and one case recurred during follow-up. Pancreatoblastomas should be considered as a differential diagnosis in adult population when clinical and radiologic features are not typical for adult pancreatic masses.
